ADVERTISING-MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 6, 1914.

Application filed March 29, 1910. Serial No. 552,248.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN FRANK PORTER, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city of Portland, county of Multnomah, and State ofOregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inAdvertising-\iachines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to advertising machines, and more particularly to amachine provided with one or more display windows or fronts, and with atraveling conveyer adapted to receive and successively move to saidwindows or fronts the advertising cards and the like placed within themachine.

Among the salient objects of my machine are,to provide an advertisingmachine of the character referred to in which there are a plurality ofdisplay windows or fronts with a traveling conveyer moving adjacentthereto and adapted to carry before said windows or fronts advertisingcards placed in the machine; to provide in such a machine mechanismwhereby some of said cards are intermittently stopped still in displayposition at different points in their course of travel while the othersare moving; to provide such a machine with one or more mag azines orstorage racks for receiving and holding advertising cards until they aredelivered to the conveyer for display; to pro-- ride an advertisingmachine of the character referred to which is so constructed andarranged that it has great capacity for receiving the cards oradvertising matter to be displayed 'before its windows or fronts; toprovide in a machine of this character an improved mechanism forautomatically delivcring said advertising cards to the conveyer and foragain depositing them upon the magazines or holding racks; to provide ina machine of the character referred to automatic controlling mechanismfor stopping its operation in case of mishap or breakage. and ingeneral, to provide an advertising machine of the character referred towhich is simple and practical in its construction and operation, andwhich is eco nomically and automatically operated and regulated.

The invention will be readily understood from the following description,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of one of my advertising machines withportions of some of the cards and frame workbroken away to show thegeneral mechanism within for operating the machine; Fig. 2 is a sideview showing one of the conveyor chains with driving mechanism therefor;Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the lower right-hand cornerportion of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view on line 44: ofFig. 3; Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the lower left-handportion of Fig. :2; Fig. 6 is an enlarged view of the lower :casting orcarrying frame member for the conveyer chain, shown in Figs. 2 and 5,but re-arranged soas to provide a. magazine or storage space for thecards beneath the path .of the conveyer chain, as indicated; Fig. is asectional view on the line 77, Fig. 5;

8 is atop plan view of a gear mechanism through which the conveyer chainis :driven from the motor, with attached con- ;trolling mechanism forbreaking the circuit when operated by electricity; Fig. 9 is afragmentary sectional view showing a push button through the wall of thecabinet, with connections leading to the mechanism for closing theswitch and starting the motor; Fig. 10 is a view similar to Fig. 6, butshowing a modified arrangement for the lower rack, when it is desired touse only a. portion of the length thereof for storage purposes; Fig. 11is a plan view of a stopping device for causing the controllingmechanism to operate when one of the rods, for any reason, fails to bepicked up at both ends; Fig. 12 is. an end view of what-is shown in Fig.11; Fig. 13 is an enlarged detail of one of the carrying links of thecon- .veyer chains which carry the cards or advertising matter. Fig. 14is a fragmentary sectional view of a retaining device for pre- Qventingthe card rods from coming out of their notches in the chain when thedoors of the cabinet are opened; and Fig. 15 is a fragmentary face viewthereof.

7 Referring now to the drawings and par- ;ticularly to Fig. 1, it willbe seen that the present embodiment of the machine comprises a cabinethaving two of its sides, which are opposite each other, open andprefferably provided with glass doors or fronts, its other two oppositesides being closed, as with panel side walls. Mounted to travel upon theinside of the closed or panel side walls and opposite each other, aretwo travcling conveyor chains, adapted to carry the opposite ends ofsupporting rods upon which are mounted advertising cards or otherobjects to be displayed at the windows or fronts of the machine. portingrods are carried by means of the traveling conveyer chains up one side,across the top, down the other side, across the bot tom and thence tothe starting point again, displaying the cards mounted thereupon at theopen windows or fronts, first at one side and then at the other.

Referring now to Fig. 2, I have shown an inside view of one of the sidewalls, upon n each of which is mounted a pair of castings or carrierframes for the pulleys and con veyer chains. One of these castings,des1g nated l, is mounted at the top of the side wall, and the other,designated 2, is mounted near the bottom, leaving space below sullicientto display the advertising card which hangs from the conveyer chain.These castings each comprise a flat back portion adapted to be securedto the side wall of the cabinet and are provided at each end with apulley, as 33, over which the conveyer chain, designated 1', passes.Certain links of the chain 42 are provided in their outer edges or faceswith notches, as 5, Figs. 2 and 8, within which the ends of thesupporting rods for the cards are carried. Mounted upon the inner faceof the frame or casting 1, are two plates, 6 and 7, adapted to beadjusted so as to form. a slide-way therebetween just large enough toreceive the ends of the rods which carry the cards or other objects tobe displayed. The upper edge of the plate 7 is trifle lower than flushwith the top of the moving con cyer chain, the top of the chain beingjust enough above the edge of the plate 7 so that the fr1c tionalcontact thereof with the rod ends operates to move said rods across thetop of the machine from one side to the other without permitting them todrop into the notches in the chain. This operation may be more clearlyexplained by stating that as the end of a rod is arrried upwardly by anotch. in the chain, at the right-hand side of Fig. 2, and over thepulley 3, it is carried to a position designated 8, where it is movedout of the notch in the chain by means of an up wardly projecting luglike point 9 on the plate 7, as shown, which also operates to hold therod end in this position, riding on the moving chain, with its dependingcard displayed at the top of the display front in a quiet position untilanother rod and card moves upwardly in front of it and pushes it overthe point '9 and into the slide-way between plates 6 and 7, within whichit is moved to the opposite side of the machine by the frictionalcontact with the moving chain. As the rod is moved along to the end ofthe plate 7, it rests against a shoulder These sup anaese 10 beyond theend of the plate 7, a distance equal to the thickness or diameter of arod, riding all the while on the moving chain, with its card displayedquietly, said cards haying advertising matter on both sides thereof, ortwo cards being placed back to back. The card is thus supported until.the next notch in the chain comes along into which it drops to becarried by the chain downwardly to the lower side of the machine. As thecard moves downwardly to the lower side of the machine, beingdisj'play-ed all the way, it passes around a pulley 11, mounted uponthat end of the lower frame or casting 2, and finally drops out of .thenotch in the chain and rests at the point 12, Fig. 2, in a spaceprovided to receive the rod ends at this location. The rod rests againstthe end of a plate 13 and over the end of a movable or trip plate 141.,Figs. 2, and 7. The rod with its card depending, remains supported inthis position until @the next preceding card, as at 15, Fig. 5, I ngagesa spring member 1.6 mounted upon Ethe trip plate 1-1. When thisengagement is made, the trip plate 1 1 is rocked upon its fulcrum at 17,which operates to raise the opposite end thereof and to lift the rodresting over the end thereof, as at 1 up- *wardly against the chain,holding it there until the next notch in the chain comes along and picksit up. The engaging surface of the spring 16 is of suiiicient length sothat this will take place, as will be read- ,ily understood by referenceto Fig. :l t jwill be understood, of course, that the distance betweenthe trip point 16 and the point 12 is substantially the same as thespace between. the notches in the conveyer chain. A depending wei ht 18attached to the end of the trip plate 14. for the purpose of returningit to its normal position to receive the neat rod. The rod which ispicked up by the chain at the point 12 is carried along until it tripsthe trip plate, through the spring 16, which operates to lift an otherrod at 12 into position to be picked up by the chain. its the rod passesover the trip spring 16, it is carried along upon the top of the plate13, by the chain l, Figs. 3 and 57 until it reaches the end thereofwhere it moves downwardly into a recess 1f), prov'ded to receive it, asindicated in llig. 3. Here it rests with its card quietly displayeduntil again lifted into position to be picked up by the moving conveyorchain. This pick-up mechanism 1 will. now describe.

20 designates a trip lever, 11 3 and 4t, the lower end of which isturned upwardly, as at 21, the end thereof being provided with a notch22 adapted to lift the rods upwardly against the chain to be picked upby the next notch therein. The lower upturned end 21 of said trip leveris provided with a slot and pin guide and support, as

Bit

indicated at 23. The upper end of said trip lever 20 is carriedupwardly, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3, and outwardly beyond the chain,as indicated in Fig. 4, and is attached at its upper end to the free endof a hinged arm 24, which is adjustably mounted upon the wall of thecabinet so as to extend along side of the chain at and into the path ofthe card rods carried thereby, as seen in F 3. As a card rod is carriedupwardly by the chain, it engages the end of said arm member 21 andlifts it. This in turn raises the trip lever 20, which operates throughits lower end 21 to pick up one of the card rods and lift it upwardlyagainst the chain, holdin it there until a notch in the chain picks itup and carries it upwardly in front of the display window of the cabinetto the recess at 8, where it is retained until the next rod moves itover the point 9. 25 designates a support for the member 24. The arm 24is yieldingly attached to the upper end of the trip lever 20, preferablybetween two yielding members mounted over the upper end of the lever 20and held in place by adjusting nuts, as shown, Fig. 3.

The space between the plates 6 and 7, Fig. 2, will carry as many rods aswill lie side by side therein. If the space is full, as one rod is movedover the point at 9, a rod at the other end of the space is being pickedup by the chain and carried around the course.

It will be understood that the opposite sides of the cabinet andconveyer mechanism are alike and that both ends of the card rods aremoved together.

Under the present arrangement and operation, the rods and cards as theycome to the four corners of the machine, come to a dead stop until theneXt rod comes along and moves against it and starts it onward in itscourse. In order to insert additional cards, they may be readily placedin the space between the plates 6 and 7 until that space is filled, orthey may be placed in any empty notches in the chain as it moves alongthe front of the machine, the doors having been removed or opened.

I will now describe a modification of the lower casting or frame 2,whereby a magazine or storage rack at the lower side of the machine isprovided for card rods, when space between plates 6 and 7 is full.

Referring to Figs. 2, 6 and 7, plate 13 and the trip plate 1 1 areremoved and there is inserted and secured edgewise in the space beneaththe chain, a dividing strip or piece designated 26, having one endthereof turned upwardly and made pointed, as indicated at 27, F ig. 6.The point of this dividing strip rests along side of the pulley 11 insuch position that when a rod is moving downwardly in the notch, as at28, it is, by the point of the dividing strip 26, caused to move out ofthe notch in the chain and to pass into a receiving space 29 beneath thedividing strip 26. This space is not used until the space in the upperframe between the plates 6 and 7 is full. When this upper space is full,then the rods are transferred to the space 29 in the lower part of themachine, and it is filled full. When this space 29 is full and the rodis moved into the entrance thereof, a red at the other end thereof ispushed into position, as at 30, to be raised by the lower end 21 of thetrip lever 20, into contact with the chain, whereby to be picked up inthe next notch in the chain, as will be readily understood by referenceto Fig. 6, the operation being the same as that described for Figs. 2and 3, and the travel of the rods from this point is the same as beforedescribed. Additional. rods may now be placed in the upper magazinebetween plates 6 and 7 until the machine is loaded.

Referring to Fig. 10, I have reduced the capacity of the lower magazineby shortening the length of the dividing strip, as at 26. By using ashorter plate, as at 13, and a shorter dividing strip 26, and allowingthe turned up end thereof 27 to rest along side said chain, as indicatedin Fig. 10, so that as a rod is moved along upon the top of the plate 13by the chain, it will, after having been carried partially across thelower portion of the machine, be diverted by the point 27 into thestorage space 29 in the same manner, as described in connection withFig. 6.

The conveyer chains are driven from a shaft as 31, Fig. 1) upon each endof which is a small sprocket wheel, as 32, over which pass the twoconveyer chains 1-;t, the shaft 31 being driven by a driving chain 33from a gear mechanism, designated as a whole 34, shown in Fig. 8. Thisgear mechanism is in turn driven from a motor designated as 35. Theshaft 31 is preferably made in sections, joined together, as at 36,whereby to facilitate taking the machine apart.

The motor for driving the machine may be of any type, but I haveprovided the gear mechanism 34 for automatically controlling it and fordirectly driving the conveyer chains. I will now describe this gearmechanism, reference being had to Fig. 8. Driving connection between themotor 35 and the gear mechanism 3% is made through a pulley, as 37,mounted upon the gear mechanism, with a belt running thereto from apulley upon the motor, as clearly indicated in Fig. 1. Said gearmechanism is provided with a switch mechanism, as at 38, adapted to beactuated through a revolving governor, as 39. The switch 38 is connectedinto the circuit of the motor 35. The switch is shown in open positionin solid lines, Fig. 8, and in closed position in dotted lines. Thisswitch is arranged to be manually operated through a wire ll), connectedto and operated from a push button 11, Fig. 9, mounted in the side wallof the cabinet or casing, which button operates a bell crank, as 42. lheshaft of the gear mechanism Set has mounted upon its end. a controllinggovernor mechanism 3, comprising a pair of revolving weighted members59" adapted to be moved outwardly when under full speed so as to extenda telescoping portion, as indicated in dotted lines. The end of thisshaft engages the switch men'iber 3S and holds it in closed positionwith the circuit of the motor closed. do long as the mechanism isrunning at full speed the switch is held closed. If for any reason thespeed of the gear mechanism 3% is reduced, as by some obstruction ormishap, which places a heavy strain or pull upon the chain through thegear mechanism, the gear mechanism is caused to slow down through aslipping of the belt between it and the motor. This operates thegovernor 39, which in turn permits the switch to be opened under thetension of its springs it, thus break ing the circuit and stopping themotor. In order to start the machine, therefore, it is only necessary topress the push buttom l-1 which closes the switch mechanism and startsthe motor. As soon as the motor and gear mechanism is at full speed, thebutton can be released, the switch being held in the closed positionthrough the governor mech anism 39, as described. It will be noted fromthe drawings in Fig. 8 that the main shaft of the gear mechanism A isprovided with a worm B, which operates a worm gear 0, upon the shaft 1),which in turn carries a sprocket it, upon which the driving chain placedto drive the conveyor chains 1 f, clearly indicated in Fig. 1.

Referring now to Figs. 11 and 12, I have provided a mechanism forregulating or causing the machine to stop, if for any reason one of thecard rods should fail to be picked up in the notch of the chain. A rockbar is mounted across the lower end of the machine, as indicated, inFig. 12, upon brackets Mounted upon each end of this rock bar are twodownwardly projecting arms if -l8, which project into the path of thecard rods as they move around the pulley 1.1, Figs. and 12, and intoposition at 12 to be raised by the trip plate 14 into the next notch inthe conveyer chain, as hereinbefore described. Mounted upon the rock bar4C5, preferably about the middle thereof is a curved prong, as e9,adapted to rock the bar so whenever said prong is raised, and thus liftthe arms 17 i8 upwardly out of the path of the advancing rods, saidprong projecting sufficiently forward so as to accomplish this beforethe card rod ei'igages the ends of the arms 17%8.

' if for any reason one end of a card rod, as

50, should fail to enter the notch in the chain by which it is to becarried, it would assume the position indicated in the dotted lineposition, Fig. 11, and thus escape engagement with the prong -19. Theopposite end of the card rod which has advanced, as at 51, engages thearm 4-8 and causes a check or stopping upon the chain suiiicient tocause an operation of the gear mechanism, the pulley of which is held inrunning engagement with the driving shaft thereof, by a clutch of anydesirable construction, designated generally as F, Fig. 8. The increasedpull on the sprocket 15, through the belt between the motor and the gearmechanism, would cause the clutch F to operate so that the pulley wouldrun upon the shaft, which would cause the governor mechanism 39 tooperate and close up and thereby permit the switch 38 to open under theten sion of its spring l-l, breaking the circuit and stopping the motorand conveyer until the misplaced rod is readjusted and the motor startedagain.

Referring now to Figs. 14 and 15, also shown in Fig. 8, I have providedmeans for holding the card rods in the notches of the chain as they arecarried thereby when the door of the cabinet or casing is opened.Erackets as are mounted upon the inner si le of the casing or cabinet,between which are hinged guard bars, as 58, adapted to pro ject withtheir edges bearing lightly upon the face of the chain, therebypreventing the card rods 50 coming out of said notches in the conveyerchains sll when the doors of the case or cabinet are opened. These guardrods or members also prevent the chain from vibrating from any cause andassist in keeping the machine in regular and even operation.

-While l have shown and described one embodiment of my invention, 11 amaware that changes can beunade therein without departing from the spiritthereof, and 1 do not, therefore, limit the invention to the particularembodiment, except is so far as the in vention may be limited in thebroad language of the claims.
